super small fit

Comments On May 19, 2014:I came in the the store to try on this helmet, as the other reviews had been positive.
I could barely close the faceplate, my chin and nose were being crushed against it. the wraparound cheekbone protection is so tight as to be highly claustrophobic.
Do not buy without a try on, and size it 2 above your other brand helmet.

it's ok

Comments On Apr 28, 2013:It's ok I guess. Wind noise is a little high doesn't matter if the vents are open or closed. Definitely keep some super glue handy. I've had to reglue a couple peices of the bottom rubber back on and the magnet on the strap. Luckily the magnet and half the sticker over it got stuck to my mirror post instead of falling on the ground. You get what you pay for.
Shield ratchets to multiple positions and "locks" in a slightly open position for good air. Doesn't seal perfectly when closed.

Comments On May 30, 2012:I bought the Bell because it was on sale, didnt really need a new lid but figured what the heck, its a good looking helmet. It does have some nice features like the sunshade and the little magnet to hold the loose end of the strap. Like most other helmets, the vent system does absolutaly nothing. I can open the vents on a really cold day and I can't notice any air at all flowing thru the helmet. Fitwise, its pretty decent, if not abit tight on the temples but I'm sure that it would break in if one wore it long enough. Unfortunatly this helmet is so noisy I am not ever going to use it. I have 2 other modular helmets and although you couldnt describe them as real quiet, in comparrison to the Bell they are.
I would reccomend that this helmet is only used for "in town" riding, where speed doesnt affect the wind noise.
As usual, you get what you pay for, and in the case of this helmet I would recommend you pay abit more and get a helmet you can wear without the noise driving you crazy...it really is that bad.
I gave it a fair rating, but only if you never use it on the open road as it does have nice features and looks good. But what good is that if it is unwearable?
